Yo conteksters!

I think I found the root of the problem with all them bad things in
contesting. It is not the guns, radios, etc., (stupid), it is the people.
More precisely, the people's brains. It all comes back to food and drink. If
one eats too much vegetarian and carbohydrate stuff and doesn't drink enough
adult beverages, then the results show up. Logic gets twisted (we need DX
lists, packet, own frequencies for life, clicksate the competition away to
VHF bands, you don't mean W4xxx - it's X1ABC, .... insert your own problemo
here) and heads butt in the heat of the battle.
     Friend emailed me the following which gives scientific proof where the
problem lies.

Peace, and don't come near "my" frequency!

I hope this helps :-)
You have been notified, next time we will hear you on the band with rotten
signal or rude behavior, we know why.
